I seem to have a knack for writing pun stories -- that is, stories that end in a pun. Give me a saying, line from a song, whatever, and I'll mangle it, and write a setup. (It may take me a while to get around to putting it on here, tho.)
They are generally not, however, "shaggy dog" stories. That kind, and most other people's pun stories, involve excessive verbiage, frequently excessive detail, and occasionally reliance on bizarre names. For instance, you may have heard the one that ends, "Silly rabbi! Kicks are for Trids!" That relies on the name "Trids". I don't like that. I prefer to work with the language as it already exists, and give as little extraneous detail as possible... but still leave you guessing what the punchline will be until the very last moment. (Okay, once in a while I rely on a name, but even then it's a famous person or at least a reasonably normal name!)
My pun stories include:
